Light one, larger pieces being dark make a room look .... well dark :D

cranioscopical:
+1 for lighter, especially in a hallway.

Ath:
I'd go for the lighter color. It'll get a little darker when the second coat is applied, and probably a bit more when the protective finish is added, again in 2 layers. And most likely it wil go a tad darker over time as it ages by the (sun) light. Plus, if you dislike the light color, you can darken it later, that's not possible when starting with the dark color.
Long story short: lighter looks nicer. :up:

mouser:
Reading the comments so far about color is like reading my mind.

I did a test of putting the darker stain on top of the lighter, and it looks just fine, SO my plan is to stain the entire thing the lighter color, and then spend a day with it and see how I like it.  If it clashes too much with the color of the mirror and floor or seems to orangey, I will put the dark stain on top.

f0dder:
I prefer the original, non-stained color, to be honest.

The two color samples you're showing remind me of furniture in old people's homes - so dark and brooding :)
